Plush Plant Faux-liage

The year was 1977, the magazine Better Homes And Gardens. And because we were too busy working to find the time to water the plants, we'd be better off making plush, as in stuffed, plants.

The examples here were made of corduroy. Which means when you'd dust them, you'd get that 'woosh-woosh' sound. And dust them you must because they are going to be pet hair magnets. But of course, if you can't keep a plant alive I don't suppose you have any pets... Don't worry, there are patterns for stuffed animals in lots of places.
